I don’t see it as being anything to gloat about. When you think about how to integrate a brand new technology into the grid, we would have to build a track record of reliability by shadowing more and more of a gas-fired peak-load plant. The utility would likely see it as reducing their exposure to supply fluctuations.
Turbines are politically attractive because of the high maintenance and replacement parts industry that they are building. Lots of jobs.
I was talking about wind turbines (see the quoted material, Pickens etc.)
Reliability is not an option for them.
